    warmer days in the northeast

    Why do you air your tires up above the minimum on the door label unless your heavily loaded. Seems like it will only wear out the center of the tires faster and ride a bit rougher, I guess your lielage will be a bit better. I generaly bring mine up close to desired on a cold day and then let it go.

    Ugh - having a bad night

    There are a lot of non-driving idiots sitting behind the steering wheel and pushing the go pedal these days.

    Can I open rear doors without using FOB or touching drivers door?

    I don't have that problem, of course I have turned OFF the auto lock features. My doors only lock when I tell them to or use the fob to remote start the truck.

    Well, it’s broken:(

    OK kid, I grew up farming and working 4wd Scouts and pickups in the 60's. The early 70's saw USMC and a bit of all wheel driving, the late 70's saw me working in Idaho and using 4wd's often daily and playing on weekends. The 80's saw me in West Texas working Texas to Wyoming in oil and gas...

    Well, it’s broken:(

    Nope, besides which it would be the engine not the t-case that would go. I will say that I would not be surprised if I have driven more miles in more different 4 wd vehicles then you have. That would include truck pulling and mud racing in my younger years plus a few decades of off roading for...

    Well, it’s broken:(

    To all who are claiming more traction from 4 Lo compared to 4 Hi, BULL. Also, I don't care if you are at full lock on your steering and engage 4wd and apply power there is no locker in the front and the most you can do is spin one tire on pavement. Any differential that can't take that needs to...

    Diesel Fuel and Anti-Gel

    Like I said do what you wish to your truck. I like mine and try and treat it well most of the time.

    Diesel Fuel and Anti-Gel

    All of you that don't use additives and don't use the winter cover, Good Luck. I have been running diesels since the early 70's, Iv'e gelled up, froze up and had my engines fail to start from fuel and cold. Those of you that haven't good for you. You crawl under a truck and change filters and...

    Diesel Fuel and Anti-Gel

    straight from the pump, it was treated or you would have had problems.

    Diesel Fuel and Anti-Gel

    -29C = -20F That had to be a treated fuel that you had. Likely your truck was in a heated garage also.

    Diesel Fuel and Anti-Gel

    A lot of misconception being bandied about here. Very little fuel in NY is blended winter fuel, most of it has additives added at the depot when picked up for deliveries for the forecast temperatures. Yes, without a doubt treat your own fuel I have used the white bottle Power Service for many...

    What options are a must and what are a waste?

    OK, For the beds with the RAM boxes. Kind of interesting just for the heck of it I did a build it for a 22 recently; the RAM box bed wasn't an option, the light colored interior wasn't an option, and the fancy cruise and such wasn't an option. And that was on a Laramie. Really have to watch the...

    What options are a must and what are a waste?

    I'm confused by BUG you are meaning Bed Utility Group is this correct? Which rails are you referring to the two rails with the adjustable tye down points? My understanding of the BUG option is the rails and adjustable tie down points, spray in bed liner, bed lighting, and on the 22's the bed...

    Looking for All Weather tire replacement

    Never been a Firestone fan, used to run a lot of Coopers, especially the Winter Master. Now my snows for the last several years have been Nokian Hakkapeliitta's an excellent tire. That was quite a storm that day, a tad bit different then what was forecast. I was quite surprised when I looked out...

    What options are a must and what are a waste?

    It all depends on your desires; mine were different then many peoples. I did NOT want the bucket seats and huge counsel in the center of the truck. I did want the power seats and power lumbar support for the passenger seat, for that I had to go with a Laramie trim or higher. I had absolutely no...
